CD Only: $15

Laura and Ken's most recent recording follows the success of their previous two efforts. Recorded at the Troy Savings Music Hall, the CD displays the most cohesive playing. Laura and Ken are joined by Keith Murphy known for his strongly rhythmic style and the unparalleled cittern playing of Joseph Sobol. The repertoire includes a strong presence of their infectiously rhythmic Quebecois repertoire mixed in with lots of original compositions written in a traditional style.
